Title of Proposal: Assessment of
Native American, Alaska Native and
Native Hawaiian Housing Needs.
Description of the Need for
Information and Proposed Use: The
Department is conducting this study
under contract with The Urban Institute
and its subcontractors, NORC,
Econometrica and SSI. The project is a
housing needs assessment that will
produce national level estimates of
housing needs in tribal areas in the
United States. HUD provides funding
though several programs to Native
American and Alaskan Native
populations, most notably through the
Indian Housing Block Grant. The level
of housing need is of particular interest
to HUD and the Congress has mandated
this study. HUD has not published a
study on housing needs, in general, for
this population since 1996. The surveys
covered by this data collection include
a household survey of native Hawaiians,
living in Hawaii, served by the
Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.
Members of the Affected Public:
Native Hawaiian households on the
Respondents
Number of
respondents
DHHL waiting list: 500 surveys total,

remainder in-person.

organizations at the national, state, and

direct the Department of the Interior to
‘‘complete an assessment of the
Department’s wildland fire management
programs in order to determine the most

Departmental and bureau missions and

duplicative administrative management
organizations to focus resources on the
protection of lives, property and natural
and cultural resources.’’ The Committee
asked for a set of options for
restructuring and conducting the
wildland fire management programs.
• In response to the Committee’s
report, the Department of the Interior
